So few posts visible.....

No matter how much i jiggle the settings on my feed, im only seeing posts by a small handful. I have a few hundred folk i follow or who follow me, yet i rarely see their posts pop up in my feed. Its about the same 20 all the time, mist if who are friends, but some who arent.
I cant make sense of it.
SW totally decides what i see, who i interact with, and it feels a very very small 'community' these days.

😔😔

The feed is awful. It makes this place feel like a desert. A small "community" indeed.

The other day I did a test on my own feed. Counted how many posts it showed from the last hour. Showed 8 posts (which I think is more than it usually shows me). Figured there has to be more than that. Searched for posts with the word "the" since that is a common word in a lot of posts, and again counted how many posts the search showed from the last hour... 24 posts!

So yeah, this great, fantastic algorithm they have made seems to hide at least 2/3rds of posts from my feed, if not more.

I have not muted users or downvoted or done anything to indicate I don't want these posts in my feed. It's just SW pretending to know what I want to see. It's straight up made this place so much worse than it was.

@PirateMonkeyCabinet exactly this.
